Typically, these kinds of knives are going to people who either use a pinch grip and don't care about knuckle clearance, or are working on a small line and the handle hangs off the edge of the board anyways! The super-short suji is kind of a niche knife for people in those situations.

To Scott:
The knife looks great!

The handle angles up slightly giving more knuckle clearance. Although it could be a tad smaller.

I am not really a fan of super flat gyutos, but a flat 210 petty is absolutely perfect. That looks awesome and I think it fits in really well with the profile all his knives have now. Does it flex much Salty?

No. It's very user friendly. There's some beef in the middle of the blade.
